WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- Federal Election Commission officials are working to clarify information about Senator Tammy Baldwin’s re-election campaign.
The FEC says Baldwin's campaign may have accepted a donation too big under federal rules.
Under federal law, individuals and unregistered PACs can donate up to $2,700 to a candidate.
The paperwork does not say how much money was donated in this case.
The FEC says these checks are common and generally due to a simple systems data error.
